New Year's Eves, graduations and weddings - it's not a celebration without a champagne toast.

But there's always an element of danger whenever a bottle of champagne is around. You have to pop the cork, and who knows how far (or fast) that little thing will fly.

Well, we here at PennLive opted to solve at least one of those questions. We popped the corks off of multiple local and foreign sparkling wines to see how far a cork would go. You can see our results in the video above.

Not all the wines we experimented with actually had corks - Andres (spotted in the end credits) has a screw on cap, while Slack Winery in Maryland has a bottle cap for all of their sparkling wines. For those of you scared of popping a cork, those might be some great alternatives. Also be sure to check out our story on how to properly open a bottle of Champagne. When it's done right you don't have to sweat the cork velocity.

Rather know how the wines taste instead of how far their corks fly? We can help you out with that too. We tasted all the wines in the video (and a few others) to provide you a taste guide for each.
